Yes. The strength of gravity of a black hole depends on its mass. Current models suggest that the smallest stellar mass black holes are about 3 times more massive than the sun. Anything less massive would not be able to collapse all the way. Such a black hole would exert 3 times the gravitational pull that the sun would at the same distance. That said, if the sun were somehow compressed into a black hole the gravity for objects outside of it would not change.

∙ 11y agoIf the black hole has the same mass as the sun, and if an object is located at an identical distance from it, the force of gravity acting on that object will be the same. The surface gravityof a black hole, however, is a lot stronger than that of a normal star (including our sun), simply because all of it's mass has been compressed into an infinity small point.

∙ 11y agoA black hole with the same mass as the sun will have the same gravitational pull on an object located at the same distance away from it. The surface gravity of a black hole, however, is significantly greater than that of the sun.
If the black hole has the same mass as the sun (which is equal to about 1.989x1030 kg), it will have a surface gravity equal to 1.521×1013 m/s2. The sun, on the other hand, has a surface gravity that is equal to 273.95 m/s2. Comparing the two, you can see that the black hole would have a surface gravity that's 55,000,000,000x (55 billion times) greater than that of the sun.

The trouble is that a star which is 2 million miles or more in diameter can collapse into a black hole whose "event horizon" is only a few miles in diameter. ALL of the gravity of the large star is collapsed into a point, as black holes have no theoretical size. So if you could approach the event horizon, instead of being several million miles from the center of the star, you could be a dozen miles or less from the center of the black hole, and the strength of the gravitational force is dependent on the inverse square of the distance; get to 1/100th of the distance, and you feel 100^2, or 10000 times more gravitational force.

∙ 14y agoYes. In fact, the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it even pulls in light!

What reason do black holes draw other nearby space objects to them?
Black holes draw in other matter due to the huge gravitational pull they exert. Because of this, even light cannot escape a black hole's pull.
Black holes use suction power to pull things into them?
I can't comprehend how suction would work in a vacuum :-) Black Holes' use their gravitational force to pull matter into them.
Why black hole have gravitational pull?
You bet they do! Black holes can have only three properties:mass - this creates the gravitational pull and is a property of every black holespin - this will likely be a property of any stellar black hole as all stars spincharge - this will be a rare property as it will attract opposite charge and soon be canceled
Does Pluto have a stronger gravitational pull than the moon?
No. Pluto is actually smaller then Our Moon, Therefor Less gravitational Pull.
What if black holes are actually planets with an atmosphere that does not reflect back any light?
Black holes aren't actually holes, they're just humongous 'objects' that are so big that they have huge gravitational pulls and therefore pull everything into themselves, hence the name 'holes'.
How do black holes attract space matter?
Through extreme gravitational pull.
Is the gravitational pull on the moon stronger or weaker than the gravitational pull on the earth?
weaker
Do black holes have an atmosphere?
No. Their gravitational pull is simply too great to maintain any kind of atmosphere.
How would you give an object gravitational pull?
All obects have a gravitational pull. The larger it is, the stronger the pull.
What reason do black holes draw other nearby space objects to them?
Black holes draw in other matter due to the huge gravitational pull they exert. Because of this, even light cannot escape a black hole's pull.
How did other galaxies attain black holes at the center?
intense gravitational pull caused the galaxy to form around the black hole
Black holes use suction power to pull things into them?
I can't comprehend how suction would work in a vacuum :-) Black Holes' use their gravitational force to pull matter into them.
Do black holes use use suction power to pull things into them?
No, they have a gravitational field, just like the Earth. It's just much stronger, to the extent that within a certain radius, not even light can escape it.
How strong is the black holes gravitational pull?
The strength of a black hole's gravity depends on the black hole's mass and how far your reference point is from the center of mass.
What object in space has a very strong gravity?
black holes are believed to have the strongest gravitational pull. that and beaches at spring break.
Why does a black hole have tremendous gravitational pull even when its mass is the same as that of the parent star?
It has such a great gravitational pull because of the center(called the singularity) has such a high density that if a airplane where to go through it and come back out it would be the same size as a marble and be the same weight. Therefore black holes have a huge gravitational pull.
Does Uranus have a stronger gravitational pull than earth?
No, it does not.
